Curse of Bronze

Who cursed the celebrated cursebreaker Charlotte Hathaway, right in the middle of the Eldritch Library? No one knows, despite the murder happening in a crowd of witnesses.

Charlotte's niece, Bella Hathaway, is on the case after inheriting her aunt's townhouse full of dangerous artefacts and talking teapots. Only problem? She's not a cursebreaker. Bella has always been the quiet member of the daredevil Hathaway family, translating magical languages, wearing sensible skirts and avoiding perilous adventure.

Now, with the help of the beast next door and his sprawling library, it's time for Bella to step up to her family legacy, translate an untranslatable demon language, locate two archaeologists who went missing twenty-five years earlier, and figure out exactly why her aunt was messing around with a gang of gargoyle-stealing werewolves.

Bella Hathaway might be out of her element in this city of paranormal creatures, but she's not going to let that stop her from solving this cold-blooded crime.
